Package        : xpdf
Vulnerability  : multiple
Problem type   : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2008-1693

Kees Cook discovered a vulnerability in xpdf, set set of tools for
display and conversion of Portable Document Format (PDF) files.  The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problem:

CVE-2008-1693

    Xpdf's handling of embedded fonts lacks sufficient validation
    and type checking.  If a maliciously-crafted PDF file is opened, 
    the vulnerability may allow the execution of arbitrary code with
    the privileges of the user running xpdf.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.01-9.1+etch3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems were fixed in
version 3.02-1.2.

We recommend that you upgrade your xpdf package.
